...Lake Wabau the visitor can see the boats used by the various crews, and may perhaps see the strong and graceful "oars-women" as they take their places in their boat and glide over the lake. Dr. Holmes' may have written with prophetic insight when he described in "A Mortal Antipathy," a close and exciting race between crews of opposite sexes, which the representatives of the young ladies institute finally win by a clever ruse - tempting the gallantry of their opponents.
